I was lead to believe that osx comes with Mac speech (text to speak program) pre-installed.... well i got this info from a website, so it may not be true.

Does anyone know anymore information about this and/or how I can get this program as my version of 10.3.9 doesnt seem to have it. The mac help files dont seem to be particularly helpful on this one and finder cant locate it.

Cheers

I believe Mac has had text-to-speech since...System 1. In OS X, there isn't really one app that does this, for the entire system is built to do it. If your in a Cocoa app, try Edit>Speech>Speak Selected Text. Such an app is Text Edit. Otherwise, go to the application's menu>Services>Speech>Start Speaking Text. Enjoy...
 
Sorry....I think I missed the point. Um, Mac speech. I don't think there's an app like that in OS X. The only thing that comes to mind is...Simple Text, which is included with the Developer install...or used to be. Sorry, hope I didn't sound stuck up.
